EDUCATION. 119 students bid farewell to
Chateauguay Valley Regional High School on
Sunday, June 21st in Ormstown. The high
school, which is responsible for the education of approximately 650 students from the
surrounding area, handed the graduating
students their diplomas this past weekend.
This graduation year marks the 30th
Anniversary of the CVR Education Foundation.
Since its inception, it has contributed over
$472,000 to qualifying students in the form of
scholarships, bursaries, awards and prizes to aid
in the pursuit of their post-secondary studies.
The contributions range from $250 to $10,000,
everY Week...
which goes to ensure that various students are
recognized within the school. This year saw the
donation of $50,500 in prizes to students. The
selection of the students who receive scholarships is based on an average of the grades
received within compulsory courses set forth by
the Ministry of Education—the ministry also
considers the highest marks in optional courses.
The honour of valedictorian was bestowed
upon Callan Forrester, a student who was highly
involved with the school’s performing arts program. Her valedictory address was inspired by
French poet and philosopher Francois Rabelais’
quote “I go to seek the Great Perhaps.”The honour
student was also the recipient of one of the Ness
bursaries, and received one of the awards for her
contribution to school life (the Student Leadership
Award for Contribution to School Life).
Major award winners included Marie-Odyle
Gosselin, who was awarded The Maureen
Wahba Memorial Scholarship for being the
student with the third highest academic achievement. The J. David Aikman Memorial
Scholarship and the Birks Bronze Medal for the
student with the second highest academic
achievement were presented to Catherine
Archambault. Shannon Caza, who achieved the
highest academic standing of the graduating
class, was awarded The Reverend John (Jack)
C.T. Johnson Memorial Scholarship, the Birks
Silver Medal and Reeves Scholarship.
The Lloyd H. Adamson Prize, which is awarded
to the student best exemplifying the spirit of CVR
was presented to Sophie Patenaude.
While the efforts that the students put forth
during their time at the high school is
paramount, Principal Brigitte Barrette also
noted the importance of supportive parents. “I
thank the parents,” she said during an interview following the ceremony. “The parents are
our most valuable partners. Because of their
involvement, students are successful.” She also
thanked the community partners and the
various committees and staff working inside
the school, explaining that “Education is a collaborative effort between many partners.”
The principal’s address to the students
included a touching speech. She had this message for the graduating of class 2015: “Continue
your ascension and believe in yourself,” she said.
“It’s not the mountain that we conquer, but
rather ourselves. Believe in your dreams and
make your vision come alive.”
Congratulations to the Class of 2015!

During the night of June 18, a lawbreaker
broke into a Fertile Creek Road garage in TresSaint-Sacrement by forcing the door and trying
to steal a vehicle and some tools, but in vain.
The keys to the vehicle being accessible, the
suspect drove it out of the garage, but for some
unknown reason, he rapidly took a powder, leaving the vehicle behind. According to the SQ,
nothing was stolen, not even the tools which
were inside the car.

A motorist was arrested for breach of recognizance on Brisebois street in Huntingdon on
the night of June 20. The individual’s legal dossier was in a state of a prohibition on driving.
The 28-year-old resident of the town is
known in the police milieu. He appeared in
court via telephone under charges of failure to
conform to a promise during a prohibition
(breaking a condition) and driving despite
being forbidden to do so.
Speed and fatigue could be at the origin of a
departure from the road on range St. Joseph at
St. Chrysostome on the night of June 18.
After having lost control of his vehicle the
17-year-old youth struck the balcony of a residence and ended his ride by striking a vehicle
parked in proximity to the property.
The St. Chrysostome resident suffered minor
injuries and was transported to Anna Laberge

Contraband tobacco
not slowing down
mario pitre
Translation by Dan Rosenburg
BILAN. The integrated team fighting
against illegal contraband tobacco has so far
arrested 64 people this year, all of which
demonstrates that these activities are not
slowing down along the U.S. border.
The update rendered public by the RCMP
Thursday reports these 64 arrests made since
the start of the year, as well as the seizure of
about 30 vehicles and the withdrawal from the
market of more than 660,000 cigarettes and
close to 25,000 kilograms of tobacco, for a market value of about $2.3 million.
« These figures demonstrate that the contraband activities are continuing : that goes with
the information we received about the increase
of our workforce assigned to this illegal business, » said Sgt. Luc Thibault of the RCMP communications office.
In 2014, the work of some police officers had
enabled the arrest of 172 individuals – 140 men
and 32 women – as well as the seizure of illegal
cigarettes and tobacco whose value totalled
$4,433,641. More than 50 vehicles were also
confiscated, for a value of over $400,000.
Several of these interventions happen on a regular
basis in neighbouring sectors of Lake St. Francois, such
as the Haut-Saint-Laurent and Soulanges.
The police officers of the integrated team battling against illegal contraband tobacco do
not notice any slowdown in trafficking activities. Photo GRC
« We are on the lookout more than ever, » continues Sgt. Thibault, speaking of the work conducted by the members of the integrated team battling against illegal contraband tobacco, which
includes those of the RCMP from detachments of
the Central Valley of St. Laurent and Cornwall, of
the Surete du Quebec’s investigation service on
contraband, as well as the Ontario Provincial Police.
Fugitive David Sweat captured by police
tC meDia
Translation by Dan Rosenburg
NEW YORK. The escapade of fugitive David
Sweat came to an end on Sunday afternoon
three weeks after his escape from a New York
State detention centre in the company of
another inmate.
The police collared him after having injured
him with a bullet close to Constable, about four
kilometres from the Quebec border. He was
then transported by ambulance to a local hos-
pital, according to the U.S. media.
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo
indicated that a police officer recognized the
fugitive along a highway and shot two bullets
into his torso when he tried to flee on foot.
About 1,200 police officers had been
deployed to track him down.
Sweat, 35, had ecaped from Clinton prison
with Richard Matt, left, 49, last June 6.
The two men, who had been incarcerated for
murder, had used electric power tools to cut
open the wall of steel behind their jail cell. They
were assisted by a prison employee, who faces
serious charges of being an accomplice.
ThREE BULLETS IN ThE hEAD
The pursuit of Richard Matt had ended Friday
when he was killed by U.S. authorities. He received
three bullets in the head, according to the autopsy
report of the coroner of Franklin County.
Coroner Brian Langdon indicated on Sunday
that Matt was in good shape before he was killed. He had eaten and drank during his time on
the lam, and he was adequately dressed to be
outdoors. He was even able to wash and shave
himself following his escape, Langdon added.
The result of toxicological analyses will not
be known for several weeks.

Numerous irregularities in awarding contracts
Haut-st-Laurent MRC
criticized by MaMOt
steve sauvé
Translation by Dan Rosenburg
CONTRAT. The Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Occupation of the Territory has
noticed numerous irregularities in the awarding of contracts by the Haut-St-Laurent
MRC in a report made public on May 14.
In the 37-pages document, some irregularities are mentioned in the submission requests,
the application of the system of the calmness
and evaluation of the offers, the repercsussion
of the choice of selection criteria on the competition and of the division of contracts into several contracts in similar material attributed by the
Haut-St-Laurent MRC.
In total, the ministry is issuing 11 recommendations. «We recommend that the Haut-StLaurent MRC, when it presents the requests for
public submissions, assures itself of making the
appropriate registrations in the electronic system of calls for bids (SEAO) in terms of applicable agreements, carries out the publication as
foreseen by the Council of Mayors and conserves
the documentation to that effect», one can read
from the text in the report from the ministry.
As for other aspects linked to the municipal
administration the MAMOT auditor identified
that the conservation scheduled had not been
approved, the regulation in the matter of
delegation of power of authorization to spend
money was not respected, and some expenses
were committed above the fixed limits without
being authorized in advance by the Council.
Still in the report, one learns that for six contracts
for more than $100,000, where that was a legislative
demand, the estimate is lacking or does not correspond to the estimate made beforehand.
LegAL COSTS fOR
defAMATiON LAwSuiT
The verification made by the MAMROT follows complaints formulated by Stephane
Gendron, the former Mayor of Huntingdon.
When the latter notified the Haut-St-Laurent
MRC of these facts, MRC director general
Francois Landreville launched a $120,000
lawsuit against Gendron.
Gendron defended himself publicly on the
well-founded basis of his actions by affirming
that it was the taxpayers’ money that had been
illegally spent.
As Landreville’s legal expenses were up to
recently assumed by the MRTC, the ministry also
ruled on that point.
In his recommendations, the auditor explains
that the legal expenses represent a municipal
expense which target a municipal purpose. « This
is not the case in the matter of defamation. The
defamation lawsuit is intrinsically linked to the

numerous irregularities in the awarding of the contract by the Haut-St-Laurent MRC.

prejudice subjected to by the individual who
launched this suit. We recommend that the HautSt-Laurent MRC does not assume any more legal
expenses coming from the suit in damages-interests relative to the defamatory words and deposited in Superior Court on July 26, 2013 and that
it seriously evaluates the possibility of having the
expenses already spent refunded. »
This newspaper tried to enter into communications with the director general of the
Haut-St-Laurent MRC, Francois Landreville.
However, Landreville did not follow up on
our request.
However, in the report the MRC declares that
it is acting on the ministry’s recommendation.
« As for how the honorariums are treated,
the MRC is planning to clear up the question by
submitting to its lawyer, where a solution path
will perhaps be offered in the framework of the
judgment to intervene. However, it was clearly
confirmed by the director genwral that he will
assume his part of the expenses. »

Katriuk’s widow remains strong
ave Maria
denis bourbonnais
Translation by Dan Rosenburg
HISTOIRE. Maria, the widow of war veteran
Vladimir Katriuk, is doing well in spite of the
loss of her great love that took place last May
22 at Barrie Memorial Hospital in Ormstown.
The Gleaner newspaper met the 88-year-old
woman at her new home in Vaudreuil-Dorion
last Wednesday and the woman of French origin
showed an astonishing inner strength. A
woman of character and still as solid as a rock,
Maria Stephanie Katriuk (nee Kayun) demonstrates a resolute will to overcome the experience that has just saddened her.
Separated from the one who has been the
man in her life for nearly 70 years, the woman of
Ukrainian stock tells herself she is capable of
dealing with the new reality. « It’s not easy, I feel
his presence and Vladimir stays with me in
thought but the truth must be accepted. My life
has changed and I can’t do anything more
about it. I must go forward ad benefit from the
rest of my days, » she expressed.
Sonija Hart, the couple’s adopted granddaughter, was reassured to see the grieving lady
in such a state of mind. « She is doing much better. When her husband suffered an ACV and in
the days following his death, Maria was anxious.
It was a bit worrying, » related the Ormstown
resident, who enabled the first approach for
The Gleaner with Mrs. Katriuk.
For the author of these lines, the article resulting
from that interview could not be capped with a heading as appropriate as « Ave Maria », or in the language of Moliere, « I salute you, Maria. » Especially
since this believer shows her faith towards the
Catholic religion without reserve. The honesty and
frankness of Maria Katriuk have never created any
doubt during the interview. Her refreshing
spontaneity, her roguish smile and her sense of
humour confer on her an engaging personality.
The octogenarian quickly lightened up the
atmospher by quipping, « Eh, how much does
being a mannequin pay? » after having accepted to be photographed by the representative
of the journal. More seriously, Maria showed a
rejoiced expression after reading the articles
published in « The St. Francois » and relating the
facts on the life of her husband. « Finally, the
truth comes out, » she attested.
Her outspokenness being one of her main character traits, Maria did not hesitate to make some

SPORTS. On 1 P.M. on June 20th, the
Ormstown Saracens Rugby Football Club
hosted their first memorial game in honour
of the late David Brunette.
The fair-weathered Saturday included two
games, which were played on a field with the
number four spray-painted across the middle of
the pitch, in honour of Brunette’s rugby number.
This was followed by a moment of silence in the
presence of both family and friends.
Remembered by his wife Marie and his children, Reilly and Dara, David Brunette passed away
in January 2015 at the young age of 57. Crowned
“Super Dave” by his teammates, Brunette was an
avid rugby player and all around athlete, known
for his leadership and sportsmanship. His daughter, Dara Brunette, donned her father’s #4 jersey
for the day, making for a touching moment when
she scored the first try of the women’s game for

the Lady Saracens. David Brunette’s family, both
close and extended, were present on game day,
making for a true celebration in honour of his life.
The Ormstown Saracens Rugby Club, founded
in 1972 by Rod Beattie and Dave Hardy, is
presently composed of four teams, including a
senior men’s team, a senior women’s team, and
two junior teams. Most recently, the club incorporated a mini rugby academy for children aged 8 to
14. The team, which is a member of the Quebec
Rugby Federation, hopes to host more memorial
games in the future in honour of former players.
The rugby club will host the U-14 Quebec 7s
Championship on July 26th, where the Ormstown
Saracens U-14 Boys team will defend their title.

The Gleaner - Wednesday, July 1 , 2015 - 7
A pioneer in the sport of football in the
Valleyfield region, the former player and coach
has been inducted into the Hall of Fame of the
Aix-en-Provence Argonauts of the National
League in France. In his only season as a footballer in Europe, Leblanc shattered several records,
notably scoring 36 touchdowns in six games.
« I was used in all positions, as a running back
on offence and as a rover on defence, not to
mention the special teams, » related the resident
of Ormstown for the past 16 years. After having
accomplished everything on the football field in
1989, Leblanc transmitted his expertise to his
« cousins » as head coach of the Argonauts.
In addition to guiding the Aix-en-Provence
crew to top honours in three consecutive seasons (1990, 1991 and 1992), he implemented a
national structure by occupying the post of
head coach of the French team. Under his reign,
the players from France reached the Final Four
semi-finals for the first time in the Cup of
Champions, emblematic pf American football
supremacy in Europe.
It is therefore as much for his work as a builder that Leblanc was elected to the Argonauts’
Hall of Fame. « You were selected in the ‘import
player’ category, knowing that your activities as
coach and for the development of players there
also mean a lot, » wrote team spokesman
Christophe Miraval in a letter addressed to the
new member of the shrine.
« It’s a real honour to have been able to recognize you in this manner. Congratulations and
thank you for having made the team what it is
today. It’s thanks to people like you that we were
able to experience this passion with the club
>6306392
denis.bourbonnais@tc.tc
that is dear to us, » rejoiced Argonauts president
Thierry Jamet.
Leblanc, who is the principal of Baie-SaintFrancois secondary school, is counting on going
to visit the Argonauts at Aix-en-Province next
season, in order to receive his commemorative
plaque. In the meantime, he will go about his
business as head coach of the Bantam Cyclones
at Edgar-Hebert School. The coach is making a
return to the coaching lines where he will have
the opportunity to coach his 11-year-old son
Tristan Leblanc.
Locally, Sylvain has been one of the instigators of school football in the 1980s. He took the
reins of the Valleyfield College Phalanges in
1993 and 1994 before joining he EBSF Broncos
in 1995. Offensive coordinator of the juvenile
team, Leblanc participated in three Bol d’Or
titles (2000, 2002, 2006).
As a player he won two college championships with the Trois-Rivieres CEGEP Diablos
and he then excelled as a defensive back in the
Canadian university league with the Acadia Sylvain Leblanc is making a return to the coaching lines as head coach of the Benjamin
Cyclones of Edgar-Hebert School. (Photo:TC Média - Pierre Langevin)
